HMD has expanded its budget lineup in India with the HMD Vibe2 Pro 5G, a step up from the standard Vibe2 that arrived earlier this year. The phone gets a 6.78-inch Full HD+ LCD with a 120Hz refresh rate, a 64MP Sony main camera, the MediaTek Dimensity 6300 chipset, and a 6,000mAh battery. Let’s take a closer look at what the phone brings, along with its expected price in Nepal, specifications, and availability.
- 6.78″ FHD+ LCD display, 120Hz refresh rate
- MediaTek Dimensity 6300 chipset
- 64MP Sony IMX682 main camera and 13MP front camera
- 6,000mAh battery, 33W wired charging
HMD Vibe2 Pro 5G Overview
Design and Display
The HMD Vibe2 Pro 5G keeps things simple with a flat frame and a dual-tone back, and the rear cameras sit inside a raised square module. At 197g, it feels about right for a phone carrying such a large battery. Silver Mist, Aqua Green, and Cosmic Purple are the three color choices.
Up front, the 6.78-inch IPS LCD runs at 1080 × 2460 pixels with a 120Hz refresh rate. The Full HD+ resolution is a real step up from the HD+ panel on the regular Vibe2, so text looks cleaner and scrolling feels smoother. A side-mounted fingerprint scanner takes care of unlocking.
Performance
MediaTek’s Dimensity 6300 handles the work here. It is a 6nm chip with an octa-core CPU, made up of two Cortex-A76 cores at 2.4GHz and six Cortex-A55 cores at 2.0GHz, backed by a Mali-G57 MC2 GPU. That setup is enough for browsing, social apps, and video streaming.
Memory comes as 6GB or 8GB of RAM, both with 128GB of storage. A microSD slot allows expansion, though it shares space with the second SIM. The phone ships with Android 16 and two years of security updates, but no major OS upgrade has been promised. Indus AI by Sarvam is built in and supports 22 Indian languages.
Camera
The main camera is a 64MP Sony IMX682 sensor with a large 1/1.73-inch size and PDAF for quick focusing. A 2MP macro lens sits beside it, and an LED flash and HDR are included. This is a clear step up from the 50MP sensor on the standard Vibe2, and the HMD Vibe2 Pro 5G should capture finer detail in good light.
Video recording tops out at 1080p at 30fps, which is fine for casual clips. A 13MP front camera covers selfies and video calls. Daylight results should be the strongest point, while low-light shots will probably need some patience, as is common at this price.

Battery and Connectivity
A 6,000mAh battery powers the phone, paired with 33W wired charging that is noticeably quicker than the standard Vibe2. A compatible charger comes in the box. HMD has not shared an official battery life figure, but a capacity this large should comfortably cover a full day of regular use.
The HMD Vibe2 Pro 5G supports dual-band Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 5.3, and GPS, along with dual Nano SIM support. Stereo speakers, a USB Type-C port, and a 3.5mm headphone jack are also included, which is handy for anyone who still uses wired earphones.
